Is Pickleball the Next Big eSports Trend? PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 Might Decide

The sporting side of the video games industry knows no bounds when it comes to officially licensed titles – any and all sports can get such a treatment. This time around, developer and publisher FarSight Studios are introducing players to the world of pickleball with PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 – apparently the fastest growing sport in the USA!

Dinks, Smashes and More!

Now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, PPA Pickleball Tour 2025 is surprisingly not the first game centered around the small-court racket sport, with the likes of Pickleball Smash coming before it.

However, this one is fully licensed by the PPA – the real-world pro tour of pickleball – and as such has all the professional players one can expect. Ben Johns, Anna Leigh Waters and many more are all present, with motion-captured movement ensuring realistic gameplay. You’ll also get to create your own ultimate pickleballer, progressing through the Career Mode.

Players will also be able to take to the court in both Singles and Doubles matches across a variety of modes, using Dinks, Smashes, Ernes and other moves to outwit both AI-controlled and local multiplayer opponents.
